01-Jan-2010 -- Having spent the turn of the year and the night in the town of Tours, we started early for our first confluence point (N47° E001°) on New Year's Day.

Via Loches we drove through a slightly hilly region until we reached the small town of Saint-Flovier. There the confluence point is located in a field, just some hundred metres from the next house. It was slightly raining and a cold wind was blowing while we walked to the point. The GPS reception was quite good so we could locate the point on the muddy field. Having taken all the necessary pictures we headed back to our car, which we´ve parked at the Les Loges houses, changed the shoes and off we went - next stop N46° E002°
